Then, and again without consumer authorization or prior consent Bank of America unilaterally opened and assigned an unwanted new consumer checking account ending in -, Without my authorization Bank of America allowed previously authorized automated payments from the - account to flow to the - account for which I had no prior knowledge that the account existed.
